The Supreme Court has rejected West Virginia's bid to enforce a transgender athlete ban against a 12-year-old girl.

That means she "has not experienced and will not experience endogenous puberty" and will instead develop "physiological characteristics consistent with hormonal puberty of typical girls," per her lawyers.

Her lawyers have made the case that she is "harming no one," noting that she "has not had any problems with children on other schools' teams" and maintains warm relationships with her teammates and coaches.Pepper-Jackson and her family sued the state in 2021 requesting that the courts temporarily block the law from applying to her. That was granted until earlier this year, when the same court reversed course and allowed the law to take effect.
